Dear All,

I hope you and your loved ones are well.

What are you thoughts on the aging (in term of years) of the following:

• Partagas Serie D No.4
• Partagas Serie E No.2
• H.Upmann Connoisseur A
• H.Upmann Magnum 46
• H.Upman Magnum 50

Thank you.

Personally, I see a lift in utility with 3-5 on each. 

Very much enjoying young D4 currently. Still 3-5 will see a significant lift. 

E2, just keep getting better and better with time down. I am enjoying an 8 year old box now and have had that box since 2014. It is a cigar that appears to have some serious aging chops. 

Mag 46 has that mongrel young (I love that) but 8 yearsor thereabouts sees them right in the zone for me. Mag 50 is magic 5-8.

Thank you so much Rob. Appreciate your advice.

Wish you best.

Personally, I've never had an opportunity to enjoy a young Partagás.  Love the old ones -- 5+ years -- but IMO would pass on the "normal" young ones (not counting madero). 

Again just my opinion..

Had an aged box of 5 of E2s which was fantastic. Highly recommend putting them away or buying old stock. 

Tried and compared some 2016 D4 tubos to 2020s and although they were good, I wouldn't mind smoking them then young either . I quite like that strength.

I tried a couple young and did not like them so I hid them away for a while.     I tried one from a 2017 box earlier this week and it was excellent--but still very strong.     I am thinking these will continue to improve with age--hopefully some of the veterans here can comment on how older boxes are doing.

I'm not in a position to age anything myself, but have been generously gifted and bought some and have a 2014 PSD4 and PSP2 to try, but I have been told that both age very well

I have enjoyed a fair number of young PSD4's, PSE2 and PSP2 and have found them all very enjoyable with 2019 and 2020 dates.
Looking forward to trying the 2 aged ones I was gifted to see how they change though

I feel like Partagas can be smoked young or aged, while HUP needs some serious time to gel.

I think the E2 is one of Cuba's best cigars, period.

10 years would be nice.  Not sure what to think at 20 years.
